Summary: Casino Revenge
Review: Clooney and Pitt do a good job of entertainment in this flic; however, the story is based on Clooney's revenge against his girlfriend's new beau- an egotistical casino owner. Clooney forms a team to rob an impenetrable casino. The interrelationships are interesting as well as the theoritical security of the casino.

But--- the end leaves you out in the cold; and except for him getting back his girl- you are left in the air 10 feet off the ground waiting for gravity to eventually work.

The robber overcomes the bad casino owner.

Boring.

Summary: Well-paced movie
Review: When watching the many advertisements or interviews talking about the movie, I got the impression that this was George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon. Following along behind these guys would be some other stars who did more cameo than anything.

Not true. One thing I liked about the movie is that all the stars got a chance in front of the camera. Yes, there is more George and Brad, but I never got the feeling that this was their movie alone. It was odd that Julia did not have a larger role. Perhaps with her star power, anything more would have eclipsed the other actors.

The movie never drags. The pace is steady without seeming too quick. There are special effects, but not so elaborate that it detracts from the movie. It has an exciting, yet comfortable, feel to it.

The script is fresh. Usually, when actors get in a jam, some divine intervention steps in to save the day. Here, you may follow the plot and see some of the foreshadowing, but parts of the ending will surprise you.

I would recommend this movie to anyone. It is not just a star vehicle produced because Hollywood wants to do. This is a good film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hmm... Intricate
Review: Ocean's Eleven... refering to the 11 people that make up this delightfully cast gang of criminals headed by Danny Ocean(George Clooney.)

This is a thouroughly entertaining movie. It has action and comedy and a dash of romance. But what makes it even better is that the action is not kill-em-all action of some of the more recent movies. It has entertaining action sequences where the action means "movement" and some explosions. And the comedy is not the slapstick and innuendo comedy, but the more sophisticated irony and coincidence. And the romance is not the "I must kill myself because I WAAANNTTT you" romance. It's a romance about trust.

If you liked Ocean's Eleven with George Clooney and this kind of humor, try "O' Brother Where Art Thou?".

Little did I know that this is a "remake" of a 1960s Ocean's 11. Hmm...

The other characters were also wonderfully well cast. My favorite was the old man who's name I can't spell right now played by Carl Reiner. His wonderful character transitions to and from the European whos emeralds must be put in the vault and his Retired Con-man's pessimistic personality. That was very entertaining!(This statement coming from someone who is an amature actress)

The movie never let my attention wander, there was so much I didn't want to miss.

Summary: I wanted to give this film 5 stars
Review: Oh how I wanted to give this film five stars. It had me entertained from beginning to end. It has everything a great movie should have: great acting performances, superb dialog, masterful directing, good screenplay with a strong plot, and it's downright entertaining (the most important part). Unfortunately the ending detracted from rest of the movie. Perhaps it's more accurate to call it an epilogue. The movie really ends at the point where the characters are standing outside the hotel. The five minute scene that follows seems pointless and forced. I don't want to detail what happens but it feels like one of those scenes that are added after test audiences disagree with the original ending.

Still this is definately one of the best films of 2001 hands down. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An all star show, Brad Pitt is included - 5 star predicted
Review: The movie is'nt released in Denmark yet, but I have seen some trailers for the movie, and I think it could go in competition for Best Picture in the Academy Awards show beside 'A Beautyful Mind'.
It's a story about eleven men, and their big robberies in las Vegas, where they use many exciting tricks, and the language is'nt clean!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Primo fun time with great cast, direction and super score!
Review: Not a wasted frame. Slick, smooth, cool and entrancing moviemaking. And the music... whew! Another wonderful character to add to the mix. Big Fun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever!!!
Review: Hands down, the best movie ever and my favorite movie of all time! Absolutely loved it! Had me rolling in the aisles! George Clooney rocked! Matt Damon rocked! Brad Pitt rocked! And Julia Roberts rocked!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YOUR EITHER IN OR YOUR OUT, RIGHT NOW!
Review: ONE EXPLOSIVE PLAN.
Ex-con danny ocean has his eye on the three most profitable
casinos in the world and the most impregnable vault known to man.
But he can't crack it alone.

ONE EXPERT TEAM.
They're the best of the best:a blackjack dealer, a casino operator, an electronics whiz, a munitions expert, a carnival
contortionist, a gambler, a cardsharp, a novice pickpocket, and
two mechanics.

ONE INCREDIBLE HEIST.
It's the night of the biggest prizefight in Vegas history.
Guaranteed take in the vault:more than 150 million dollars.

ONE SMALL PROBLEM.
Her name is Tess, the former Mrs. Ocean. Now she's tight with the
very Vegas magnate they're trying to rob. Trusting her is going
to be Danny's biggest gamble, but it's worth the risk.
Because getting away with the heist isn't really a challenge -
it's going to be more like a miracle.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Butch and Sundance - Meet Clooney and Pitt
Review: This movie is pure, unadulterated fun thanks to the stellar cast and Steven Soderbergh's return to the hip, stylized directing and snappy dialogue we saw with "Out of Sight." Think "The Sting" in Las Vegas, but with more punch. George Clooney and Brad Pitt have great chemistry onscreen - a duo akin to Newman and Redford. Let's hope they'll reteam for another equally enjoyable film in the near future.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I FELL ASLEEP
Review: I can't honeslty review this movie, because I fell asleep about 20 minutes into it. I'm a movie freak, really into popular movies, and I never fall asleep in the theatre. However this time I did.

I just thought the movie was boring. There was nothing to stay awake for.
